The scale is not your friend.   It’s not your enemy but it’s not your friend either.  The most accurate read of how you look is in and out of your clothes.  I know it’s popular to jump on the scale and measure yourself every day but it’s never the full story.  Try choosing a dress, pair of jeans, or a bathing suit to measure your progress or maintenance.  This is the true test of where you are and perhaps where you want to be.  Especially if you’ve been working hard in the gym, logging extra miles as a runner, or being more consistent in yoga.  The mirror doesn’t lie and neither does a loose or tight fitting dress.  The scale however only gives you one option and if you associate a number with being fat or thin instead of what your reflection says you may run into trouble.  Try it!
